Books like Using csh and tcsh by Paul Dubois


This guide explains how to use the classic csh shell, the default command-line interface on most UNIX platforms, and its enhanced version tcsh. Beginning with basic usage, it shows how to make the prompt reveal your current directory, utilize command history, and execute long command lines with minimal typing through powerful completion features. You will learn techniques for reminding yourself of filenames as you type, editing incorrect commands without reentering them, and allowing the shell to correct misspelled command names. The focus is on interactive efficiency rather than scripting or programming. Programming in csh or tcsh is beyond the scope of this text; those tasks are recommended for the Bourne shell or other scripting languages such as Perl.
